ArbConnection
What’s In This
Chapter
This Chapter contains information how to install, invoke and use
ArbConnection. Introduction to ArbConnection and examples how to
program instrument controls and parameters and how to generate
waveforms and download them to the PXA125 are also given in the
following sections.
Introduction To
ArbConnection
In general, ArbConnection is a utility program that serves as an aid for
programming the Model PXA125. ArbConnection has many functions
and features of which all of them share a common purpose –
controlling PXA125 functions from remote. As minimum, to use
ArbConnection, you’ll need the following tools:
1. Computer, Pentium II or better
2. Windows 95, or higher
3. High resolution screen, at least, 1024 x 768 pixels
4. Pointing device, mouse or ball
5. PXI chassis and installed PXA125
6. Last, but not least, some basic knowledge on how to operate
computers and Windows-based programs.
ArbConnection operation is divided into three main functions: 1) Front
panel control, 2) Waveform generation and editing and 3) FM
waveform generation and editing. These operating options are
described in this chapter. But, you must install ArbConnection before
you can use it, so the next paragraphs describe installation and first
steps before going into in-depth operation.
Installing
ArbConnection
ArbConnection installs as part of the general installation process of
the instrument drivers and programs. You can also install
ArbConnection alone, in case you are not interested in installing PXI
drivers but only want to test or explore its operation. The complete
installation process is outlined in Chapter 2. To install ArbConnection
without other parts of the installation package, proceed with Custom
installation and check the ArbConnection option only, as shown in
Figures 2-20 and 2-22
